Minor Change Report 132000 200359 3 · 132000.200359.3

                      Any premises which comprises or is intended to comprise a singe dwelling unit on one
                      allotment, subject to the provisions of clause 33 hereof, including such outbuildings as are
                      incidental to and necessarily associated with a dwelling house. The term does not include
                      an accommodation building, caretaker’s residence, duplex dwelling or multiple dwelling
                      as here defined.
               While a Dwelling unit was designed as
                      Any part of a building used or intended for use as a self-contained dwelling place for the
                      exclusive use of one family.


               Noosa Plan 2020 defines a Dwelling house as:
                    Dwelling house means a residential use of premises involving—
                         (a) one dwelling for a single household and any domestic outbuildings associated with the
                             dwelling; or
                         (b) one dwelling for a single household, a secondary dwelling and any domestic
                             outbuildings associated with either dwelling.
               While Dwelling is defined as:
                    Dwelling means all or part of a building that—
                         (a) is used, or capable of being used, as a self-contained residence; and
                         (b) contains—
                             (i) food preparation facilities; and
                             (ii) a bath or shower; and
                             (iii) a toilet; and
                             (iv)a wash basin; and
                             (v) facilities for washing clothes.
               The internal changes already carried out on site include three full kitchens, and although not
               indicated on the proposal plans, Council Officers also witnessed three separate laundry areas in
               the property (one in each ‘dwelling’ – 11a, 11b and 11c). Additionally, each separate dwelling has
               its own private access. It is noted that the reinstatement of a door between the Kitchen and Butlers
               pantry areas (mentioned above) would again result in three separate self-contained dwellings,
               entirely inaccessible from each other. The current internal works carried out on site has resulted in
               three separate self-contained dwellings, and as such does not meet the definition a Dwelling
               house under either the 1990 or 2020 schemes, which are both limited to one dwelling.
               These changes are contrary to the existing approval and may result in either a Dual Occupancy or
               Multiple Dwelling development (both impact inconsistent uses in the Low Density Residential
               zone). The proposal to amend the First Floor plan is therefore not supported.
